Step 5: Download SuiteCRM

Step 6: Extract SuiteCRM

Extract the downloaded SuiteCRM zip file using the following command:

unzip SuiteCRM-7.11.18.zip

This will create a folder named suitecrm.

Step 7: Move SuiteCRM to Apache's Document Root

Move the extracted suitecrm folder to the /var/www/htdocs/ directory. This is Apache's document root directory where all web files are stored.

sudo mv suitecrm /var/www/htdocs/

Step 8: Set Permissions

Change the ownership of the SuiteCRM files to the Apache user and group:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/htdocs/suitecrm

Step 9: Create a MySQL Database

Create a MySQL database for SuiteCRM using the following command:

mysql -u root -p

After entering the MySQL shell, run the following command to create the database:

CREATE DATABASE suitecrm;

Then create a MySQL user and grant permissions to the newly created database:

CREATE USER 'suitecrmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON suitecrm.* TO 'suitecrmuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Step 10: Install SuiteCRM

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/suitecrm. The SuiteCRM installer will now start.

Follow the on-screen instructions to install SuiteCRM. When prompted for MySQL database credentials, use the details that you just created in step 9.

Step 11: Modify Apache Configuration

For SuiteCRM to work properly, you need to modify Apache's configuration file. Open the file /etc/apache/httpd.conf and add the following lines to the end of the file:

<Directory "/var/www/htdocs/suitecrm">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save the file and restart the Apache server to apply the changes:

sudo service apache restart
